Chameleon-like...

[jay]

A few notes... it seems to me that I often adjust my behaviors to match my surroundings... in the sense of acting more assertive around more-butch women, and more tentative and hesitant (bordering on sheepitude, sometimes) around more-femme women. Either one-on-one or in groups...

And I'm still surprised at how differently I feel and behave when I'm with different sweeties. Not that one set is better or worse... just different.

Finally... I'm in DC now, after two first-class upgrades and a nice long lunch with Nancy in Minneapolis. Tonight I hand-delivered my last V-Day batch of homemade truffles to geekchick, including the milk-chocolate-dipped variety that I designed specifically for her, this year. And she met me at the door wearing a long black velvet dress, something Coldwater Creek-like... mmm. (bounce) And let me pick and choose a CD playlist from her garden of treasures (her music collection is diverse, eclectic and huge).

Tomorrow... MEPAG and a SWIM air traffic meeting, both simultaneously in Arlington.

That's because it is. =)

How did you like the music?

I think many people have different responses to black velvet dresses than they do to overalls and combat boots. It makes sense to *me*.

Thoughts on the chameleon stuff: you've got a very deeply ingrained sense that the small and weak are to be protected and cared for, and not to be aggressive, harmful or intrusive. A femme is more likely to bring out your sense of gallantry. Moi, on the other hand, if you're not assertive, you might be in danger of getting steamrollered (though with the occaisional reminder that I like it when you're direct and stand up for yourself).

I'll be sure to wear my metal spikes for you!
